About
About US
We are a unique organisation that has identified a gap currently existing in Australian raptor rehabilitation practices. Through collaborative engagement with raptor rehabilitators, we aim to demonstrate and develop best care practices and how flying strength and endurance can be regained in a facility such as Higher Ground Raptor Centre.
Members of the founding committee of ARCC Inc. have relevant and essential experience to implement this project including veterinarians, raptor carers who have studied at Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, ornithologists, and those with a passion to see Australia move towards the forefront of raptor care.
INCORPORATION STATEMENT (2014)
As Australians, we care about our environment and its indigenous fauna. Our primary aim is to have a positive impact on raptor rehabilitation and release techniques utilised by wildlife carers. The ultimate aim is to maximise survival rates post release.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Australian Raptor Care and Conservation Inc acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. We recognise and appreciate the traditional significance and cultural roles birds of prey play in the lives of our First Nations people.
